What does Kouros Eau de Sport smell like?

Oakmoss, forest herbs and galbanum give the scent a green, earthy frame. Jasmine, rose and carnation pull it toward the floral side, while patchouli and vetiver add a woody depth. Vanilla and musk sweeten and soften the whole.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are tentative. It reads masculine and suits those who like a restrained, classic fougère. Revillon French Line and Three Pears Ltd. Rapport have a close profile.
